Camera advice

[Ian Oliver <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Lots of people who live nearby have lost York stone from their drives
and walls. Replacing it costs many hundreds or even thousands of pounds
as the stone is expensive and hard to find (unless you steal it from
someone else!)

We'd like to stick a camera by our front gatepost to cover our York
stone on the drive "apron" and also get piccies of passing
vehicles. I
have power to the location but not network.

Options -
1) Wireless analog camera. Tend to be a bit sucky IME but maybe I just
need a good one. Will then need a video server inside to do CCTV->IP as
my Linux machine running Motion is in the basement.
2) IP camera and a wifi AP running as a bridge.
3) Wifi camera or wifi video server.

Security at the gatepost is an issue. I can put video server etc. in a
locked box and this will be very well hidden by bushes but I will have
to hide the camera. The "all in one" wifi cameras all seem pretty
bulky
and hard to hide, but I should be able to do something cunning with a
bullet or lipstick camera.

The location is right under a street light, so a low lux camera should
work fine without Ir illumination.

Suggestions?
